Baby survives after being run over by train. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8311289.stm

I saw this in the newspaper yesterday morning. A great stream of tears quickly flowed.

Then I saw the video last evening in an internet cafe. I wanted to post it on OLO but I couldn't see the computer screen!

Finally got to do it this morning, but still with great difficulty seeing through the tears.

Just extraordinarily emotional stuff - how something like this could happen...just so easily and quickly. And then how the baby could survive with no more than a bump on the head.

What do others think?

Yes, it was an extraordinarily lucky escape and a graphic reminder that people need to be very careful on platforms at train stations.

Why all the emotion though, Ludwig? Wasn't it you who described children recently as "horrible little rugrats"?

Feeling a bit guilty, perhaps?

Good morning Ceej.

I can just imagine you as a child. You must have been the world's worst rugrat!

In fact it appears to be a trait that you have held onto for fifty odd years!

Have a great day (:>)

I think we should remodel all our train stations and make a little fence to stop this ever happening again.

If we could save just one child, it would be worth it.

Not every child is fortunate enough to have careful parents.
Society should protect the children of these careless parents.
It takes a village to raise a child.
Think of the children!

If we could save just one child, it would be worth it.

WHAT IDIOT..DESIGNS THE PLATFORM TO SLOPE..INTO THE TRAINTRACKS

"WHAT IDIOT..DESIGNS THE PLATFORM TO SLOPE..INTO THE TRAINTRACKS"

Yes OUG. It makes you wonder. I would have thought that the designers could see the folly in that.
